Denmark – not yet known. Hedegaard will not continue as the government has changed since her nomination, but candidate names are not yet known. [UPDATE: 15.7.14, 1900 – Berlingske reports, in Danish, Christine Antorini and Mette Gjerskov are in the frame – thanks @jacobchr on Twitter]

Netherlands – Jeroen Dijsselbloem(?) (m) – Wikipedia, News Story. Wants: something senior and economic. Details sketchy as to if he is indeed a nominee. Name of Timmermans also in the frame for High Rep. Party: PES

Poland – Radek Sikorski(?) (m) – Wikipedia, News Story. Wants: High Rep if the EPP gets this position. If this is unavailable a less high profile candidate may be found. Party: EPP

At the moment there are only 4 female nominees. Kroes’s demand of 10 or more looks some way off! The entire Commission team has to be approved by the European Parliament after hearings, and by the European Council. The team should be agreed by the autumn.

Not only too few women, but also disproportionately too many ambitious ALDE-members and ex-prime ministers from small countries, by the looks of things. Clearly Juncker is going to have to appoint a good dozen or so vice-presidents in order to keep everybody happy.
